TWO  MILLION  LEPERS  NEED  YOUR  HELP 


The  estimate  given  by  Dr.  Vietor  G.  Reiser,  of  the  Rockefeller  Foundation,  and  formerly  Health  Director  of 
the  Philippine  Islands,  indicating  an  approximate  minimum  of  two  million  lepers  in  the  world,  has  re-em¬ 
phasized  the  importance  of  the  work  for  which  The  Mission  to  Lepers  is  responsible.  This  International  and 
Interdenominational  Society  was  founded  in  1874  by  Mr.  W.  C.  Bailey,  representing  one  of  the  American  foreign 
mission  boards.  Yearly  the  work  has  grown  and  the  Society  has  expanded.  Its  four  present  objectives  are: 

(a)  To  preach  the  Gospel  to  the  lepers. 

(b)  To  relieve  their  dreadful  sufferings. 

(c)  To  supply  their  simple  wants. 

(d)  In  time  to  rid  the  world  of  leprosy. 

(a)  The  lepers  respond  gladly  to  Christian  teaching.  Their  sincere  joy  in  service  offers  fine  examples  for  emula¬ 
tion.  There  are  now  over  6,000  baptized  Christians  in  the  Leper  Homes  connected  with  this  Mission,  and  we  need 
your  help  to  maintain  the  work. 

(b)  Suffering  always  appeals.  Note  the  way  in  which  relief  is  rushed  to  our  war  sufferers,  but  what  war  sufferers 
today  would  exchange  places  with  the  leper.^ 

The  Mission  to  Lepers,  through  direct  contributions,  by  visitation  in  many  lands,  and  by  its  relationship  to  the 
work  in  no  less  than  ninety-two  hospitals  and  homes  for  lepers,  has  relieved  and  saved  many  thousands.  Doctors 
and  nurses  have  multiplied  their  ministries  by  teaching  lepers  themselves  the  art  of  bandaging  and  dressing.  In 
connection  with  the  formulae  for  using  chaulmoogra  oil  worked  out  and  demonstrated  in  the  American  Asylum 
under  government  control  in  the  Philippine  Leper  Colony,  clinical  records  in  the  Mission  Stations  show  that  under 
treatment  some  two  hundred  cases  have  been  free  from  traces  of  the  leprosy  for  more  than  two  years.  Researeh  is 
being  continued,  new  remedies  and  new  applications  of  old  ones  sought,  with  the  result  that  many  patients  have 
been  released  on  parole. 

o 


(c)  Lepers,  homeless  and  hungry,  rejoice  to  receive  food,  clothing  and  shelter.  They  are  surprised  to  find  sym¬ 
pathy.  When  physically  able,  they  gladly  undertake  to  grow  gardens,  raise  fruit,  and  care  for  their  cooking  and 
clothes. 

In  the  Mission  Stations,  ample  care  can  be  given  with  an  approximate  annual  expense  of  only  $25.00  for  each 
patient.  Such  a  great  service  for  such  a  small  amount  ought  to  touch  the  heart  of  every  lover  of  suffering  men, 
women  and  children  everywhere.  ^ 

(d)  In  the  middle  ages,  France  and  Great  Britain  had  many  lepers.  In  more  recent  years  there  were  thousands  in 
Norway.  Now  Great  Britain  and  France  have  practically  none,  and  there  are  few  in  Norway. 

In  the  Philippine  Islands  ten  years  ago  there  were  said  to  be  9,000;  now  but  5,000.  In  the  Hawaiian  Islands 
twelve  years  ago,  over  1,300;  now,  half  as  many.  What  has  wrought  this  change?  The  answer  is — segregation. 
Almost  4,000  years  ago  this  plan  was  instituted  by  Jehovah.  It  brings  results.  And  you  can  help. 

The  Mission  to  Lepers  is  leading  in  a  world  movement  for  the  segregation  of  lepers  in  all  lands.  Governments 
and  mission  boards  are  cooperating  in  the  United  States,  Japan,  Korea,  China,  India,  and  Siam.  Your  support  is 
urgently  needed. 

If  as  estimated  one  person  out  of  every  seven  hundred  and  hfty  living  today  is  suffering  from  this  preventable 
disease,  who  is  responsible?  We  are.  We  can  at  least  help  stay  the  plague. 

Are  you  ready  to  do  your  part  to  help  this  Society  realize  its  four  objectives,  wKich  we  repeat: 

(a)  To  preach  the  Gospel  to  the  Lepers. 

(b)  To  relieve  their  dreadful  sufferings. 

(c)  To  supply  their  simple  wants. 

(d)  In  time  to  rid  the  world  of  leprosy. 

Then  send  your  gift,  which  is  so  much  needed  today,  to  any  local  representative  of  The  Mission  to  Lepers  or 
to  Mr.  Fleming  H.  Revell,  Treasurer,  158  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York  City.

WAYS  YOU  MAY  CO-OPERATE 


There  are  at  least  seven  ways  in  which  cooperation  may  be  given  in  the  present  work  of  The  Mission  to  Lepers: 

1.  Join  the  American  Auxiliary.  Application  blanks  may  be  had  for  the  asking.  $2.00  or  more  is  the  fee. 

2.  In  every  church  let  us  have  a  representative  who  will  give  out  information  and  be  the  connecting  link  with 
The  Mission  to  Lepers,  working  in  harmony  with  the  constituted  authorities  of  the  church,  and  seeing  that  the 
lepers  are  not  forgotten. 

3.  Send  for  a  program  envelope  which  contains  papers  and  talks  suitable  for  use  in  any  ordinary  missionary 
meeting. 

4.  Subscribe  for  “Without  the  Camp,”  the  quarterly  magazine  of  The  Mission  to  Lepers.  This  little  paper  con¬ 
tains  the  latest  news  of  “World  Wide  Work  for  Lepers.”  And  costs  but  25  cents  per  year. 

5.  Order  a  metal  pig  bank  and  feed  him  coin  and  currency,  so  that  in  this  way  funds  may  be  secured  from  a  host 
of  people  who  do  not  now  have  a  part  in  this  branch  of  the  missionary  work  of  the  church. 

6.  Beside  praying  for  the  lepers,  send  a  gift  either  for  regular  funds  or  building  purposes,  or  for  a  Christmas 
offering.  Gifts  may  be  sent  to  Mr.  Fleming  H.  Revell,  Treasurer,  158  Fifth  Ave.,  New  York  City. 

7.  Remember  The  Mission  to  Lepers  in  your  will.  Legacies  are  an  increasing  source  of  revenue  to  many  Mis¬ 
sionary  Societies. — Do  not  forget  the  lepers.

FROM  AN  ACTION  TAKEN  BY  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  REFERENCE  AND  COUNSEL 


REPRESENTING  THE  FOREIGN  MISSIONS  (CONFERENCE  OF  NORTH  AMERICA 

(JANUARY,  1913) 

“That  the  Committee  of  Reference  and  Counsel  would  express  their  hearty  sympathy  with  the  work  of  this  or¬ 
ganization  as  worthy  the  endorsement  of  Mission  Boards.” 

“That  in  their  judgment  the  general  plan  followed  by  the  I,eper  Society — that  of  co-operation  with  the  work  of 
Mission  Boards — is  in  the  interest  of  a  true-economy  and  efficiency  in  its  distinctive  work.” 

Rev.  Arthur  J.  Brown,  Chairman 
158  Fifth  Ave. . ,  New  York 

,  Rev.  Chas.  R.  Watso.v,  Secretary 

200  N.loth  St.,  Phila.,  Pa. 

(Copy  of  letter  written  by  Dr.  John  R.  Mott,  a  few  days  after  Ids  visit  to  the  Naimi  Leper  Asylum) 

“I  am  deeply  impressed  by  my  visit  to  your  Naini  Leper  .\sylum.  I  was  particularly  impressed  both  by  the  re¬ 
markably  efficient  management  of  the  Asylum  and  by  the  spirit  of  the  inmates.  To  my  mind  the  work  which  you 
are  doing  in  this  direction  is  one  of  the  finest  illustrations  of  applied  Christianity  and  of  Christlike  service  which  I 
have  witnessed  in  my  travels. 

“Wishing  you  success,  and  pledging  you  my  sympathetic  and  hearty  backing.”
